Episode #112: “Nurse party; national anthem; Shmuley.”

There’s a nurse party raging away upstairs and chaos is in the air as Rosen re-adjusts from his vacation world to reality world and Goldbrener shares his latest bus adventures, and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach teams up with Pamela Anderson to offer an anti-pornography message. Is this good for the Jews? Probably not, but the life of recently passed icon Gene Wilder certainly was. Meanwhile, inspired by a seated quarterback, we ask:

Is the Star Spangled Banner good for the Jews?

San Francisco 49er backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick says it isn’t good for African-Americans, but what about The Chosen People? Do we, as some say, “owe a debt of gratitude” to the country that sheltered us and allowed us to thrive? Or is it innately Jewish (or Jewish-American) to analyze, criticize and question our home?

No one was faster than the Waco Kid.
